BUICK Complaints

When the car is parked, it will not shut off due to the “shift to park” warning.

It's been over a year since the recall was issued and still no fix? This has affected my ability to sell the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2017 Buick Verano. The contact stated that after purchasing the vehicle, it was discovered that all four doors would not properly open nor close and remain secured. Additionally, the front driver's side window would not roll down as needed. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who discovered that the subframe of the vehicle was corroded. The contact was informed that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. The cause of the failure was not yet determined, and the vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 16,400. The VIN was not available.

While driving, the STABILITRAK indicator lighted and the car began to flash multiple warnings, loss of steering ability, electrical anomalies, and eventual shut-off. This happened while on a major interstate highway, jeopardizing the life of the driver and other drivers. This happened on multiple occasions within two days. The vehicle was towed to a service center, who had difficulty determining the cause. The service center suggested transferring the vehicle to an authorized GM dealership. Similar incidents have been reported by other owners on this website. This should be investigated immediately.

GM (Buick) issued this recall over a year ago In spite of numerous phone calls, e-mails, there is no remedy in sight and I have to wonder if GM intends to follow through with a remedy for this issue or just ignore it and run out the clock with no fear of any repercussions for them. Do Fed regulations really have any teeth in them to provide incentive for GM to care about their customers. The dealers are caught in the middle and at the mercy of GM. I'm sure this is an industry problem and gets very little media attention. I guess it's a case of ignore it and it will go away.

The contact owns a 2015 Buick LaCrosse. The contact stated that while stationary at a stop light and attempting to depress the accelerator pedal, the vehicle hesitated while responding. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed with transmission failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000. The VIN was not available.

I've only had the car for under a month and twice this has happened. When I came to a stop, the start/stop system was activated (engine shuts off) and I put the car in P (parked). Then when I placed it into reverse and released the brake which started the engine, there was a huge jolt/jerk/buck. This happened twice and as far as I know this these are the only times I've committed this specific sequence of events.

Electrical Relay/Fuse box in the back under the driver's side passenger seat. we thought at first it was the battery. We replaced the battery the connections. The car sometimes starts sometimes doesn't. We've messed with the relays pulling them out and back in and it trys to turn over clicks and doesn't but has full power to the car there is also signs of extreme heat maybe fire from the battery to the metal frame of the back seat insert

I have a recall on my vehicle due to unsafe airbags. It has been over a year and Buick is still not making replacements. Not only am I driving an unsafe vehicle but I am currently unable to sell my vehicle. This is a very bad situation and I wish to complain to NHTSA about the danger to me and my passengers.

The contact owns a 2017 Buick Enclave. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V334000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
